PATTERN RECOGNITION
Different data. Same underlying patterns.
Source code, documents, business data, infrastructure and other admitted inputs can look unrelated on the surface. Reusable structure can still exist underneath.
RECOGNIZE
Pattern reuse starts below the file format.
ATLAS separates carriers and domain-specific evidence from reusable semantic structures.
A pattern becomes useful only when its identity, scope and evidence survive the domain transition. Similar-looking data is not automatically the same pattern.
ECONOMICS
Reuse before rebuilding.
Every qualified reusable pattern can reduce repeated discovery and reconstruction work in compatible contexts.
The economic effect is measured per encounter; no fixed learning-curve percentage is asserted before real observations exist.
